Leaked Kohl’s Ad Kicks Off Black Friday Competition

Kohl’s Black Friday circular was unveiled last night, making it the first major full-line retailer to enter the doorbuster derby.

According to a leaked ad appearing on shopping advisory sites BFAds and BestBlackFriday, the junior department store will release its first round of Black Friday deals online at 12:01 a.m. (CT) on Monday, Nov. 20.

Promo sales for Black Friday proper will begin online at a minute past minute (CT) on Thanksgiving Day, and Kohl’s will open its store doors at 5 p.m. that afternoon, one hour earlier than last year.
